<WBR>Not to discount Les' situation, but I wonder how many "concert pianists" are out there to begin with. I hear it so often that a relative is coming for the weekend, and "you know, he's a concert pianist", only to find out he has a degree in piano, and played his senior recital at college. <br> <br> Even the music on the piano is not always proof of the quality of the player. The pianist might have that there to practice, but is no where close to being able to play it.<br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Wim</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Phil Bondi <phil@philbondi.com><br> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 2:27 am<br> Subject: Re: stumped<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_42964066-f7bc-48c9-aa66-cbaa533f696c style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">I wonder how many of us have heard this story before..or something similar to it..where the pianist is 'concert-level' and they have a PSO in the home. <br>  <br> My guess is most of us, if not all of us. <br>  <br> Les - I can not add anything to what has been said already concerning your situation.
